PLEASE HELP The relationship between altitude and the boiling point of a liquid is linear. At an altitude of 8200 ft, the liquid boils at 199.42°F. At an altitude of 4700 ft, the liquid boils at 206.07°F. Write an equation giving the boiling point b of the liquid, in degrees Fahrenheit, in terms of altitude a, in feet. What is the boiling point of the liquid at 2500 ft?
Write an equation.
b=

b=-0.0019a + 215

at 2500 ft, b=210.25 degrees F

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope. a=altitude, b = temperature

slope is b2-b1 / a2-a1

points are (8200, 199.42) and (4700, 206.07)

(206.07 - 199.42) / (4700-8200)

= 6.65/ -3500

= - 0.0019

we have b = -0.0019a + intercept

plug in a point to find intercept

199.42 = -0.0019*8200 + intercept

intercept = 199.42 + 15.58 = 215

b=-0.0019a + 215

at a=2500 ft, substitute into equation

b= -0.0019*2500 + 215

= -4.75 + 215

= 210.25 degrees F

no

Step-by-step explanation:

because x+X+X+X is adding and 4x is 4 multiplied times x therefore no they are not equivalent
